Hi, I’m Gnattervid and I would like to tell you about what we do and who we choose to help support, and why:
Gnattervid is a streaming channel (like the BBC, Dave, etc – only we are always live) that has (and always will) support charities. At the moment we have chosen to help the charity MIND UK, which helps people who find it difficult sometimes to understand their emotions, by offering:
• Contact numbers – for when anyone needs to chat, whether in a crisis or just needing an ear; and
• Information packs – more recently, particularly due to COVID, awareness of mental illness has increased. MIND strives in many countries to get as much information as possible to people free of charge. They provide detail around particular conditions, and aspects of neuro-diversity, so that people can find reliable information and understand things more fully. You can search and look up key words on their site (for example: BPD) to unearth useful information for friends and family, including support, advice, self-care, and links to resources and help.

When Gnattervid was diagnosed with a form of mental illness called Borderline Personality Disorder, or BPD (also known as Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder or EUPD) there wasn’t much information to be had and they felt confused and alone, until they found the MIND website which answered most of the questions they had. In this way MIND is helping people who are struggling day-to-day: they can find facts and explanations which may help them to move forward and enjoy life, as everyone deserves; bringing people hope and the resolution to face life when it is challenging.
So for Gnattervid, it is a perfect fit to merge what they love to do (streaming gameplay) with supporting such a charity.
Over the past two years Gnattervid has helped to support over 10 different charities of various sizes with donations exceeding two-thousand pounds, helping those in need.

What is Gnattervid:

Gnattervid mainly streams on Twitch and will continue to support charities both big and small. People can donate to charity directly through links on Gnattervid’s socials and website, helping to reach the target. If you feel you can support the channel itself, so that this work can continue, this is possible through donating ‘bits’, taking out subscriptions, and gifting through Ko-fi.
If you can spend some time with us when we are streaming, follow us on social media, share and retweet; all of this will help Gnattervid to grow and raise more for charity in the future: by growing an audience and reaching more people the possibilities are endless.
